Kernel 2.4 hotfixes build report.

Not all kernels are booted on the target machines, but as often as possible
they will be built. Some of the kernels are built with "allmodconfig", which
means that all modules which are compatible with the system will be built.
But I don't test with those kernels, so I recompile with a machine-specific
config and test the resulting kernel. When I indicate "builds ok", it means
that the kernel builds with the specified config without any error, but
possibly warnings, and that I have not tried it. When I indicate "works ok",
it means that I booted the system on this kernel and did not notice anything
special.

I'd like to thank particularly Grant Coady, who regularly compiles -hf kernels
on several of his machines and maintains a build report on his page linked
below. From now on, I'll stop integrating his build successes in my reports
as I always update them in the next version only. Please consult his site for
more information :

Enjoy,

* : on sparc/sparc64, lots of modules don't build at all, such as sound
because of missing defines in dmabuf.c, and some WAN, FB & I2C drivers.
